I'm really tired of hearing this old chestnut. Sure, some super-athletic guy going all-out might be able to do that, but it's not like if your opponent is inside 20 feet, you're just utterly helpless.

Tell you what. I'll put $50,000,000 in unmarked bills on my dining table, and stand in front of it with my holstered Walther 9mm. You stand over there, 20 feet away. If you can touch the money, you can have it. Deal?

I'll take that deal. I might catch a bullet, or not (no guarantee that you will actually hit me as I move and then dive toward the money, plus you might hesitate on actually pulling the trigger), but even if I get hit, I may likely survive. And there is the possibility that I fall forward and a part of my body touches the money even if I don't survive. I'm almost 6 feet tall, so just falling forward gets me the last bit of distance needed. We would need to have one of my heirs present to verify the results, of course.

Not to be superficial here, but $50 million is ALOT of money. It is a "family legacy changing" amount of cash.
